Review on Showerhead Stainless Handle Control Regulator by Jamal Sandridge

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Quality design and materials but made in China

This stainless steel shut off valve was purchased to temporarily fix a leaking shower. This eliminates the need to cut a hole in the drywall to replace the shower fixture. At first it seemed like there was a small leak on the internal threads. But as it turned out there was a small crack in the shower head that leaked onto the shut off valve. The product has worked as expected after replacing the shower head and the gasket is properly seated at the bottom of the internal thread. It's a well made product and earned 4 stars for two main reasons: 1) the orifice in the ball valve was smaller than I would have liked and 2) it was made in China - at a list price of $16 which it have could have been made in the USA. I used Blue Magic Industrial Grade pipe thread lubricant instead of Teflon tape.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Not bad
